I recently bought an ix500 to use with SANE. Summary: it works on Ubuntu 16.04+updates or Fedora 23+updates when connected through a USB 2 port. It does not work when connected through a USB 3 port.
I tested this on two Fedora 23 systems with USB 2 and 3 ports. - HP Envy 700-19 desktop <http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03795764> - Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro notebook <http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/lenovo/yoga-laptop-series/yoga-2-pro/> - kernel kernel-4.5.5-201.fc23.x86_64 libusb-0.1.5-6.fc23.x86_64 sane-backends-1.0.25-1.fc23.x86_64 sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.25-1.fc23.x86_64 I tested this on one Fedora 23 system with only USB 2 ports. I tested this on one Ubuntu 16.04 system with USB2 and 3 ports. - HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF desktop <http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03345460> I have no idea if this is specific to the Fujitsu ix500 -- I don't have other scanners to test with. Simplest form of misbehaviour with USB 3: First "scanimage -L" finds the scanner. Subsequent "scanimage -L" commands do not find it. (I think that sometimes the scanner disappears from "lsusb" output but that doesn't seem to be always.) I also had some system lockups but they are not repeatable. Unplugging and plugging in the USB cable seems to reset things. Is this a known problem? - the Fujitsu manual says that if the scanner doesn't work with USB 3 try USB 2. That is surely for Windows not Linux. Is there some testing that you would like me to do? [Later] I've now read <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2015-December/034197.html> That report doesn't seem to point to a kernel.org buzilla entry. How come it isn't reported upstream? -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
